I love your site. Everytime I visit I learn something new. This time I noticed the linkwithin widget and decided to try it on my blog. Oh, I miss irises. Used to have them in my midwest gardens. It's a little too warm for most of them here.walk2writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501812375142037251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357865578794109155.post-39000950694432710332009-04-06T22:33:00.000+02:002009-04-06T22:33:00.000+02:00I too love how it seems Irises are everywhere all ...I too love how it seems Irises are everywhere all of a sudden.

I only wish the current technology that we enjoy, such as digital cameras and the internet, were available when we lived in Germany for 5 yrs. in the 80's. We toured so many gardens I can't remember most of them!

Gorgeous iris, I love them - however, the video does shame me into admitting that my french is nowhere near as fluent as it used to be - and the accent is VERY different from the Mayenne accent tha I am used to. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!<BR/><BR/>Spring has sprung here and our clocks went forward this weekend - perhaps that's why I'm so shattered this morning (and has nothing to do with hours of lugging soil off the japanese garden!) :)Nutty Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146296943319504785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357865578794109155.post-44328597742898777922009-03-29T18:09:00.000+02:002009-03-29T18:09:00.000+02:00Thanks for posting the video Rob.

I agree with the people in the video, the iris are magnificent. I bet they do love it there, as well as lavender grows in France.

But seeing those fields of iris, and a woman in a sleevelss blouse meant the weather was warm and the flowers need no translation. Black Magic came through loud and clear. Another month at least for our big show, but the plant are looking very healthy.
